Requiem For The Grand Old Party

Thoughts and Prayers to the GOP...

A prayer for them as the hearse goes by, for someday we will also die. They'll wrap them up in a dirty shirt and bury them deep, under rocks and dirt.  The "New GOP" will scorn, not praise, and never again speak of the bad old days.  But they'll be gone, and that will be that. Each sunk their own ship, and drowned like a rat.   Amen.

A requiem for the repose of the souls of the dearly departed of the Grand Old Party will now play softly.  Tears will be shed for the once proud "elephants of the walk" as their exploits of shame and corruption will echo across the land.  And they all will be laid to rest in the grimy dustbin of history. 

The eulogies for the GOP will be read by a few of those right-wing heretics who stand in attendance along the funeral bier. Such traitors as Sen. McConnell, Sen. Josh Hawley, Sen. Ted Cruz, Minority House Leader Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. Matt Gaetz, Rep. Mo Brooks, and Rep. Louis Gohmert will each speak their part in the historic words of heresy and insurrection against our nation.

Rep. Marjorie "Conspiracy" Greene (R) and Rep. Lauren "Calamity Jane" Boebert (R) will be there to seat guests of the "dearly departed" Party. The former president requested a private booth at the back of the coven for private sorrow.  His family will be be seated up front and smiling, of course.  

This is, indeed, a solemn service for the demise of the Republicans-who-could-do-no-wrong.  They did, of course, prove that too, was unattainable.  In fact, what they did was about as wrong as anything ever done to our democracy.  In the end, they refused to admit blame and chose to "go down with the ship!"  

Today, news outlets are reporting that states are beginning to notice large numbers of Republican Voters are leaving their Party.  Stay tuned for more details.  Also, more than 250 aides of congressional offices have signed a letter to the U.S. Senate demanding that the former president, who they believe incited that mob, be convicted and never allowed to hold a federal office again. 

An appropriate ending to the service was when the eulogists and two ushers all jumped into the mass grave just before the dirt was shoveled in.  

May they rest in some kind of peace.

From dirt they came, in dirt they served, and to dirt they will go.


(Too subtle?)

The Trees Kept Voting for the Axe. . .

Opinion by John Watson   "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for  the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."   - A Turkish Proverb   This proverb reflects the idea that the perpetrator of harm may forget their actions, but the victim will always remember.  Whatever your political leaning, I have found this proverb interesting. For me, it has always found its way into different aspects of  political thoughts and discussions. During this particularly stressful election where our very basic needs are being challenged, The perpetrator has quite easily convinced a large group his base of accepting him because he will get them everything their hearts desire if they will but elect him. It has nothing to do with what he can do for them - it has only to do what they will do for him! He wants what he wants and he asks them to supply the votes. What they will get in return is neither inferred nor

  THE RETRIBUTIONIST He is a legend in his own mind He has promised to call out his Flying Monkeys to wreak hell and damnation on the "enemies of the people." They will be driven from the face of the earth.  Who are they?  The news media. Are there others?  Anyone who won't stand with him.  Once again, Trump is ratcheting up his use of the derisive label to attack the news media. Trump tweeted, "The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, "Make America Great Again." "They can't stand the fact that this Administration  has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first two years," he continued, "They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell "1984" Donald Trump is up to his old, untruthful campaign slogans once again. His attack on America'

Confession of a   Social Climber Before I cash in my chips and curl up my toes, I need to confess to a terrible crime. For more than 86 years I have been a terrible liar about an important moment in of my life. As everyone who knows me is aware, I have always said my home town was Fort Benton. But, I hope everyone will find a way to forgive me for that terrible fib. I admit I was a social climber from birth. I wanted the world to know I was from a large city. When I was born, my parents and and older brother lived in the beautiful town of Virgelle, Montana. We also had a farm across the river from Virgelle and south about five miles on top of the river breaks. We lived there for about three years and then moved back to the farm. So, realistically, my home town is Virgelle. My family lived there  before we lived in Fort Benton.  When I started school, we moved into a home in that beautiful, big, bustling metropolis of Fort Benton, where I was educated. I was so happy and just knew I wou
